I have had him rebuild a couple of older rivs for me.for less than 75 dollars he installed decoder, new can motor, rebuilt gear tower, new pickup and leads in the tender, upgraded lights .I think he had the loco less then two weeks I was very impressed with his work. Although no matter how good you get the older riv to run setting beside the P2K berk the difference in detailing is as different as night and day.The P2k berk is awesome. One of the reasons I think rivarossi no longer exists.Terry
